Ye Yaodong held the fish head with one hand and pressed the tail with the other. Watching its mouth open and close, he happily handed it to Ye Xiaoxi.
"Fish~fish~"
Ye Xiaoxi also opened his eyes wide in excitement and kept shouting. While shouting, he stretched out his index finger to poke the fish's mouth curiously.
Ye Yaodong quickly moved the fish away and looked at her with black lines on his head, "You can't do this, your hand will be bitten."
After she giggled a little, she quickly went to get the bucket next to her.
There is no pitiful look in that little appearance that just made me feel aggrieved.
After throwing the fish into the bucket, he patted her head again, "You're lucky. Your mother will steam it for you to eat tonight. Sea fish eat smart ones. Your eldest and second brothers are hopeless. Our family can only hope that you will become the best."
College students honor their ancestors."
Ye Xiaoxi ignored what he said, but ran to the side to pick up the spatula, continued squatting on the ground to dig sand, and shoveled the sand into the bucket.
Ye Yaodong didn't react in time. He looked at the sand in the bucket and felt helpless. This was too small to carry. The pig teammates would only be a disservice.
"Okay, you dig the sand here alone, and I'll look for it in the pile of rocks and get a bowl together. Otherwise, there will only be dry food and no fresh food at night."
Ye Xiaoxi ignored him and seldom went to the beach to play. She just wanted to dig in the sand.
The tide was quite far away from their position, and Ye Yaodong was not afraid of her running forward. There was a large open space on the beach in front of her, which was enough for her to play. He carried a bucket and looked for it on the edge, only looking up at her from time to time.
Seeing her moving forward while playing, he also moved forward.
As the tide receded little by little, there were more children playing on the beach. Ye Xiaoxi saw that there were other children, so she moved over and played with them.
Ye Yaodong saw that she was with someone, and saw a group of dogs at home. Suddenly a few of them ran out, so he stopped staring at them.
As soon as he came out, a group of dogs tried to follow him, but he kicked them back and asked them to guard the door, so that other relatives would not come to see the excitement after hearing that their family had bought a TV.
Now I don’t know why I became disobedient again, and even sneaked out a few, so I left them alone. It would be safer to have a dog with me.
After instructing the children to play in the sand in place and not to play in the water any further, he started walking around seriously by himself, only occasionally looking up to see if Ye Xiaoxi was playing normally.
The distribution of seafood on the beach is actually quite regular. If you dig close to the shore, you will find a small number of clams. These clams also live in groups. If you can dig them close, they will usually be found around them.
Also, during the high tides on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there are the most places outside the pier. Maybe it is usually covered by the sea water, there is no exposure, and there are no man-made dangers. When the tide is low, there are a lot of places to dig.
There may be lugworms on the beach where there is sand. Depending on the seasonal distribution, there will be a lot of razor clams on the muddy tidal flats. You can also look for bubble holes in the season.
Sea centipedes also grow in tidal flats, but there are no sea centipedes on their beaches.
Ye Yaodong was walking and looking at the beach, and when he saw a familiar hole, he dug a few times. Sometimes he pulled out a clam, sometimes he dug out a cat's eye snail, and sometimes there was nothing. Maybe if you dig deeper, you might find something.
Under the intertidal zone, if you dig deeper, you may dig out sea mussels.
He tried it, but he had to dig it under his elbow, and if he was not careful, his hands could easily be scratched by the shell, and it was also easy to crush the shell, leaving it incomplete when pulled up.
Now walking in the intertidal zone, he also saw a lot of bubble holes on the surrounding beaches. There should be sea clams underneath, but it was very laborious to pull them out. It might take him a long time to get one out, and he was too lazy to do it.
Originally, I took my child out for a walk. I didn't come here specifically to catch the sea. I just walked around casually to see if there were any things to pick up. But when it was too strenuous, he stopped doing it.
After going around in a circle, I only picked up twenty or thirty cat's eye snails, a few large clams, two stranded plum fish, some jumping fish, a few starfish, and sea urchins.
He just wanted to change his position and go to the rocks over there to take a look. If there was something to pick up and dig out, he was ready to go back home. Ye Xiaoxi's side was just about the place to play. If he played for too long, he wouldn't even get dirty.
No matter what, I will be scolded again when I go back.
As soon as he walked to this reef area, he saw two stone crabs waving their large pincers stacked on top of each other. He didn't know whether they were fighting or making fire packages.
When I came out, I just wanted to coax the baby. I only brought a spatula and no fire tongs. Now I had to grab it with my bare hands.
The two crabs were stacked there, indistinguishable. He grabbed the upper one, and the lower one was also hooked by the crab's legs and flew into the air. He quickly picked up the bucket and caught it, and in an instant another one fell down.
"My legs were pinched off, it was so violent."
He muttered and threw the crab in his hand into the bucket.
Stone crabs don't grow very big, and are only as big as a fist at their largest, but the meat is still very delicious, a bit similar to blue crabs, but not as good as blue crabs. Blue crabs can grow very big.
One can weigh two or three pounds.
After harvesting two, he wandered around again and collected a few larger spicy snails.
Just as he bent over and caught another small green crab, he felt a little itchy on his leg and something was rubbing against his leg.
When he straightened up and took a look, he didn't know when there was a Dalmatian dog beside his feet. The dog's head kept rubbing his legs, and in the dog's mouth was biting a conch as big as a fist. He didn't know where he picked it up.
Ye Yaodong chuckled in surprise, "Hey, you can also catch the sea?"
The dog's head had been raised there, but when he saw him looking over, his legs stood up and hugged his feet.
He quickly took the conch out of the dog's mouth and checked to see if there was really meat inside and it was not a hermit crab. He patted the dog's head in praise and said, "Well done!"
"Woof woof~"
"It's still of some use. Let me go look for it in other places and bring you some more things. I'll give you some extra food tonight."
Today I saw that there were not many scattered items on the beach. I was lucky to be able to pick up a grouper. The rest of the items were just mediocre at best, so let the dog look for them and see if he could find more.
Put together more, after all, the family has a large population.
After Xiaohua got the task, she barked twice and immediately turned around and ran away.
Ye Yaodong thought that if he had known better, he would have brought out some of the dogs at home. Wouldn't it be better if he sat here and waited for these dogs to catch the goods from the sea for him?
I don’t know how the children at home trained these dogs behind his back, even if they were chasing the sea...
After watching the Dalmatian dog run away, he searched nearby again, but before he could find anything, there was a plush touch at his feet again. This time, the dog was holding a flat fish sole in its mouth.
It's quite big, about seven or eight taels.
"Good guy, can you really catch the sea?"
As he spoke, he took the fish out of the dog's mouth and threw it into the bucket. Seeing that it was still standing there, he smiled and patted its head, "It's great. Go ahead and bring back more."
"Woof~"
After getting the order, it changed direction and ran away...
But after a while, it came back again. This time, it didn't bite anything in its mouth. Instead, it opened its mouth and bit the hem of his trousers and kept pulling at it. He was confused for a moment.
"What's wrong? You can't catch him. Do you want to take me there?"
The dog immediately let go, barked twice, retreated first and turned its head.
After taking two steps, she looked back at him, and when she saw that he didn't move, she barked twice more.
Now Ye Yaodong knew that it wanted to take him there.
He chuckled softly, "Hey, you are so smart? You still know how to lead the way?"
Seeing him dawdling, the Dalmatian barked a few more times. Ye Yaodong knew that this was urging him, so he quickly raised his heels. Seeing that it was running quickly again, he ran with it.
He ran toward the intertidal zone, in the direction of the tide. After running about 10 meters, the dog stopped and he stopped too.
"What's here?"
The Dalmatian took two steps toward the bay next to it, then turned and barked at him twice, and he followed and took a look.
"I'll go, there are a lot of mud snails. You can do it. You're pretty good at it. You can find it in the bay."
"Woof woof~"
"No wonder you brought me here. You can't pick it up. But how can I pick it up? When will I pick it up? I have to go home and get a colander. Otherwise, if this large piece is all pulled into the bucket, then
It’s all sand.”
"You have to pick it up with a slotted spoon, put it in sea water and brush it to remove the sand. Then get a bucket of sea water and raise it to spit out the sand. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat it, you dog."
"Woof woof~"
Xiaohua didn't understand what he said, but she also knew that he was calling a dog, and a qualified loyal dog should know how to respond.
Ye Yaodong picked up two of them casually, and the soft flesh on them immediately shrank back a little. He walked to a small pool of water next to it and washed it a little, looking at the transparent shells with not much sand in them.
"You should be able to vomit completely after vomiting all night, and you can eat again tomorrow, but you have to go home and get a colander, which is a bit troublesome."
He rowed all the sand back and washed it with fresh water. It would be dead. He thought about it and decided that he still had to run back by himself. But it was such a long distance. Now that the tide was receding, it was about a mile away from home.
Two hundred meters away.
"Throw it here first. After wandering around for a while, you can go back and get it. Go and look for me again to see if there is anything else you can pick up. Bring whatever you have and bring more."
Gouzi looked at him with a confused look on his face. Maybe what he said was too long and he didn't understand. Ye Yaodong could only repeat it as much as possible and let him look for it again. Only then did he actively turn his head.
Ye Yaodong stood there and touched his chin, "Or go back and get the colander now, and bring out two more dogs at home? This one can chase the sea, why can't the others?"
After thinking about it, he walked directly to the shore. There were many dogs and they were powerful. Why should he go to all the trouble of wandering around looking for them? It would be enough if he had a dog.
There are hunting dogs in the mountains, there are wolf dogs in the police station, and there are also local dogs on the beach that can chase the sea!
